    forcing everyone into servitude

    TLDR

    You aren’t proving me wrong. Only rich medical professionals use that exact phrasing/talking point.

    Only a garbage human that intentionally chose the medical industry to rape helpless people financially would characterize working humane hours, literally saving lives in exchange for decent pay, “forced servitude”.

    The Rise of Digital Currencies: What It Means for Traditional Banking

  • No problem. Thanks for being intellectually honest! I’ll file down the claws in my previous reply. :)

  • Thats actually 100% false.

    DJED seems to have escaped your notice. It has been humming along without incident for a full year now.

    DJED is the first formally verified stablecoin protocol. The use of formal methods in the programming process has greatly contributed to the design and stability properties of Djed. Using formal techniques, the properties are proven by mathematical theorems: *Peg upper and lower bound maintenance: the price will not go above or beyond the set price. In the normal reserve ratio range, purchases and sales are not restricted, and users have no incentive to trade stablecoins outside the peg range in a secondary market. *Peg robustness during market crashes: up to a set limit that depends on the reserve ratio, the peg is maintained even when the price of the base coin falls sharply. *No insolvency: no bank is involved, so there is no bank contract to go bankrupt. *No bank runs: all users are treated fairly and paid accordingly, so there is provably no incentive for users to race to redeem their stablecoins. *Monotonically increasing equity per reserve coin: under some conditions, the reserve surplus per reserve coin is guaranteed to increase as users interact with the contract. Under these conditions, reserve coin holders are guaranteed to profit. *No reserve draining: under some conditions, it is impossible for a malicious user to execute a sequence of actions that would steal reserves from the bank. *Bounded dilution: there is a limit to how many reserve coin holders and their profit can be diluted due to the issuance of more reserve coins.

  • Algorithmic stablecoins that are actually unhackable (all possible endpoints have been formally verified) exist too. They offer the best of both worlds. I’d like to see something like that on Monero’s successor (whatever that is).

    edit: I was thinking that successor would be Midnight...but Midnight is closed source, which is a dealbreaker for me...especially with cryptocurrencies. Perhaps ZCash?

  • Teen creates memecoin, dumps it, earns $50,000

    Jump

  • This is pennies compared to the pump and dumps/blatant insider trading that Mr. Beast and other influencers like Logan Paul have been accused of. And yet here we are focused on shining the light on relatively small time crooks while the famous, untouchable influencers do this multiple times every month.

    How mouse-less can you make Linux?

    Jump

  • I’d go Hyprland if you’re looking for something similar to Xmonad for Wayland. It isn’t formally verified like Xmonad is, though.

  • They’re working on Waymonad as we speak.

    If OP didn’t notice, the config I linked also has a Hyprland option. Personally, I’m sticking to Xmonad until Waymonad is ready. Nothing comes close.

    ps. I decided to start a sister community to my XMonad one for Waymonad. I will try to post updates there whenever possible.

  • XMonad would make that exceptionally easy. If you want to try it, I’d recommend doing it on NixOS and just forking a working config that uses a tiling window manager. This is a great config that I used as the foundation for my own: https://github.com/gvolpe/nix-config
